I. Background 

Under the Medicare program, eligible 

beneficiaries may receive covered 

services in a rural health clinic (RHC) 

provided certain requirements are met 

by the RHC. Section 1861(aa)(1) and (2) 

and 1905(l)(1) of the Social Security Act 

(the Act), establishes distinct criteria for 

facilities seeking designation as an RHC. 

Regulations concerning provider 

agreements are at 42 CFR part 489 and 

those pertaining to activities relating to 

the survey and certification of facilities 

are at 42 CFR part 488, subpart A. The 

regulations at 42 CFR part 491, subpart 

A specify the conditions that a RHC 

must meet to participate in the Medicare 

program, the scope of covered services, 

and the conditions for Medicare 

payment for RHCs are set forth at 42 

CFR 405, subpart X. 

Generally, to enter into an agreement, 

a RHC must first be certified by a State 

survey agency as complying with the 

conditions or requirements set forth in
